John Carter of Mars is all the rage again thanks to Modiphius’ Kickstarter. That’s straight-forward. Less straight-forward is whether it’s possible to be John Carter or even an Edgar Rice Burroughs geekfan with models, art and merch given the tendency of the heroes to wear very little clothes… I think ‘PaladinFreelance’ has the solution. Their […]

Six new John Carter pictures
We’ve already had the impressive and scary looking white ape picture from Andrew Stanton’s John Carter. Now we get six more pictures and they include some quirky looking aliens and creatures.
